Knock-Knock, who’s there?
Everybody knows him. He is every student’s worst nightmare and every English literature graduate ‘s greatest idol. With plays like “Romeo and Juliet”, even Taylor Swift references him in her songs (Love story, All too Well (10 Minute Version)). William Shakespeare may have been born centuries ago but still impacts our life greatly, not only through Swift’s music.
Born in 1564 and father of three, he lived most of his life under the rule of Queen Elizabeth I, who secured relative stability, economic growth, and flowering of theatre, literature, and music for Britain, marking her legacy as “The Golden Age”. Someone who profited from this rising popularity of theatre and literature was our dear Shakespeare, who wrote over 34 plays, 154 sonnets, and multiple poems. His language shows skills of high complexity and imagination and found a great liking in every class of British society, even in the king’s court for the amusement of the aristocracy. Most of his plays contained relatively simple plots but sparked through Shakespeare’s use of metaphors and vivid images. He also introduced some commonly used phrases and words like gossip which we all do and love so very much. But jokes aside, the next time you want to deliver a good old “Knock-Knock who’s there?” joke, remember that even it has its roots in Shakespeare’s plays (Macbeth, Act 2, Scene 3). Shakespeare not only shaped the way we speak today, but he also made an impact on the structure of tragedies, using the now well-known 5 act-structure.
In his early days, Shakespeare started out as an actor and playwright as a member of the “Lord Chamberlain’s chamber”. Since his father was able to climb up the social ladder by marrying Shakespeare’s mother, Mary Arden of Warwickshire, young Shakespeare was able to visit grammar school. Or was he?

Just heard a tapping on my door glass. Went to see who was there and found Lester, our visiting egret who has been here for a week or so. Soon will lose visitor status and become our resident egret if he keeps hanging around. #lesteregret #egret #migratingbirds #birdvisitor #knockknockwhosthere #heron

"a kiss to show lust" -blak-ur to kara
She had opened the door knowing it was him but still the intensity with which Blake kissed her stole Kara’s breath.  The notebook fell from her hand down his back as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, sucking in a breath through her nose and groaning as she felt his hand in her hair tilting her head just right.  Her eyes shuttered closed and she pressed herself to him, opening her lips to his insistence, another soft sound leaving her mouth as she did.  When he pulled back, she leaned her head against his, breathing heavily.  “Hi.”  The greeting seemed unnecessary now but it was all she could muster.
